Default 2014 Lexus ES350 17" wheels on LS?

Hi All,

Looking for 17" options to run as dedicated snows.
I found a set of 2014 Lexus ES350 17"- 7 Spoke wheels.
Does anyone know if these would work on a 2005 LS UL?
I prefer a 5 Spoke like the factory 18s but found this set local.
Thoughts, etc...
Photo attached for reference.

It's very difficult to know if a non-LS OE wheel, even though it's a Lexus wheel, will clear the large brake calipers on the LS. The 17" wheel diameter is a start, but the inner configuration of the wheel construction is what's most relevant. You'd have to ask a Lexus dealer, find someone who has those exact wheels installed on a LS430, or get confirmation from the seller that they'll fit.

If it's helpful, for my 3 winter-driving LS's snow tires and wheels, I have 3 sets of 16" LS OE wheels (one set is chrome, one set brushed aluminum, one set silver paint). This setup provides super-smooth driving on 16" (and less expensive than 17" or 18") Michelin X-ice tires, and look fine for the +/- 3 winter months.

EDIT: Within the Lexus family of OE wheels, I have only seen (or read) the following interchangeability with LS430: other LS, GS and some IS wheels.

Well, I found this info on the wheel you're inquiring about;
Material Aluminum
Size17" x 7"
Diameter 17"
Width 7"
Lugs 5 Bolt
Pattern 114.3mm
Offset 45mm
Style 7 Spoke
Part Number 4261133550, 4261133630
Finish Silver
Year2009
Make Lexus
Model ES350
SKU W74190S-3
Depending on the tire you're using, a 7 inch rim may be a little narrow for you. the offset is correct, the bolt pattern is good, so I would think you just have to know the inside diameter of the wheel to ensure it fits around the brake assembly.
Worst case scenario is pull a wheel and see if the rim mounts up...

Let us know if those work because that may work for me when I dismount my winter tires next spring.

I've Tried ES 18" wheels and they do not clear the OEM BBK. Best bet are 18's off an IS350/GS350 etc.
